How about couples in a monogamous relationship - is that natural? (genuine question) Are we moving to a more fluid type of relationship - is VR sex closer to cheating?

Sexual images that are illegal would still be illegal in VR?

>> How about couples in a monogamous relationship - is that natural?

There's some evidence that while short-term(a few years) monogamy is natural , long-term one isn't . this book talks about it:

Natural? It's certainly common. Kind of a red herring--I'm more thinking about the pattern I've seen nowadays (and this is certainly personal bias of one sort of another) where white-collar/tech workplaces are being elevated to some monastic asexual space (hah) where people have no concept of romantic interest (hah hah), and where outside of work the mere act of saying "Hey, you seem pretty cool, would you like to meet up for <insert culture-specific code phrase for precursor-context-for-eventual-offer-of-mutual-sexual-activity>?" results in frightened looks and scampering off to the warm and safe bosom of Facebook, Tinder, or online dating. Grumble. This doesn't excuse boorish behavior, mind you, but being sex-positive would be a nice norm.

Illegal sexual imagery in VR is a thing. So long as it is digitally created, I have no reason to think that it carries with it the intrinsic moral wrongness of whatever the equivalent analog act would have. That said, there's a clear counter argument that providing that sort of material normalizes the behavior.

What I think will be more interesting is looking at the IP claims to come out of VR and teledildonics...being sued by a former lover for, say, continuing to hold onto and operate recordings of their performance.

It's all rather entertaining.
